I believe the regions approach 100% as the decades approach five, maybe six

This is the warmest October i can remember on the west coast; it's like how September usually is.
Which means there will be either a completely non existence winter OR bone crushingly ice age poo poo.

Both, it'll be both.


In my experience the coldest LA will get happens around Christmastime, so roughly mid-Dec to mid-Jan. In the last decade I can remember there being heatwaves of like 85F in January. There's also the odd week where we get a taste of the polar vortex too.

I think I have seen some discussion about another year where the jet stream is kind of weird and that could cause colder weather to come south again, or maybe a 'polar vortex'

Probably worth mentioning that Texas has still done nothing about their power issues going into what could be another weird winter

Why would they? Those power issues mean big profits for the energy companies. They basically legalized Enron.

The Polar Vortex exists at all times. We're heading into a third La Niña winter, which should result in a warmer and drier winter across the southern half of the US. Lots of good stuff here:

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Just because you remember the weather a certain way from your childhood doesn't make it normal.

they don't know all alien abduction experiences can be explained by people thinking saving private ryan was a documentary

If you're younger than 50 you have no memory of a normal winter, they have all been freakishly hot. You have to read about winter in history books to know what normal was.

The early 90’s had +0.5C of warming from climate change and -0.5C of cooling from Mount Pinatubo so it seems average to me

I had to cover my 6' tomato plants with a couple huge tarps for that one. It then warmed back up and the tomatoes produced for another month. Couldn't save the watermelons tho

Thank you, tarps

my mom grew up in the upper Midwest on a farm and then the twin cities in the 50s and 60s and we were talking about this

she remembers over the 50s/60s
[*] a major snow storm on Halloween
[*] a hard freeze screwing up crops in September
[*] a hard freeze screwing up crops in May
[*] Christmas with tons of snow on the ground
[*] Christmas that was just depressingly brown and so muddy everyone’s cars got stuck
[*] 60s in January
[*] -40s in January
[*] midwinter thaws followed by snap freezes that swung which made ice skating to high school the safest mode of travel by far

in general however the accumulated snow is less I. the last decade, with one major, absurd exception. the warmer extreme events are occurring more but it’s all within the range of living experience. it’s just, fluke events are happening once a year instead of once a decade. that does not bode well for the future, but that’s why “extreme weather” as proof of climate change can be downplayed by some.
